Thanks Chris, I was looking for that link. I planned on flushing the system out once I fixed the leak.

On edit: I tried sending reps, but it won't let me.

Yep, it was the high pressure line from the pump to the hydroboost. I took off the CAC tube, cranked the engine, and had my wife turn the wheel side to side while standing on the brake. Saw it squirting out of the line right where it connects to the fitting. Should be an easy fix.
